Opposition party Renamo has declared victory in the October 10 municipal elections in Matola with 133,059 votes, or 48.6% of the poll. The party has said also that it is on the look-out for any attempt at fraud.

Matola is Mozambique’s second largest municipality.

This statement was made at a press conference held on Friday by Renamo.

According to Renamo Provincial Delegate Clementina Bomba, her party’s delegates who were at the 706 polling stations have already processed 92.35% of the results.

Also according to the provincial delegate, Renamo is worried about the results that are being announced because they are not true.
